The final barrier has been overcome in women's battle for equal rights: The misogynistic hard-rock icon AC/DC is now a girl band.

The all-women band AC/DShe  from left, Mallory Young, Phyllis Rudd, Agnes Young (center), Bonny Scott and Riff Williams (takeoffs on AC/DC band member names Malcolm Young, Phil Rudd, Angus Young, Bon Scott and Cliff Williams)  is heading for a pair of shows at Wave Waikiki this weekend. Though there are thousands of AC/DC tribute bands, AC/DShe was the first all-women incarnation.

Well, not really, but Amy Ward (aka Bonny Scott) wants you to feel that way after you leave a show by her band AC/DShe, which is playing at the Wave Waikiki this weekend.

"We're huge AC/DC fans and we try to do everything perfect," said lead singer Ward, 27. "We want even the most insane fans to recognize every drum fill; there is no improv."

Though there are literally thousands of AC/DC tribute bands, this was the first all-women incarnation. When they got together in 1999, Ward and bassist Nici Williams had never even played an instrument; they just knew they wanted to rock.

"Basically there is no other tribute I'd do," said Ward, who hails from Northern California. "We wanted to give people the opportunity to see AC/DC down at their local club."

So they donned their schoolboy clothes and picked up their fifths of whiskey and started playing. One problem: Bon Scott's lyrics are, to put it mildly, a little lascivious. After all, he even wrote a song about the enormous size of certain parts of his anatomy. But Ward shrugs that off.

"It translates a lot better than most would think," insisted Ward. "We like to drink and party just like them. It isn't forced at all, it's just second nature."
